Hello! Your 900 looks nice, but I have few questions about it. Do you have a box or any accessories? Wher did you find the date? For me it looks like a pre war lantern. What is written on the tag attached to the frame? Piotr
hi piotr, no, i don´t have any accessories. the scratched number at the bottom of the tank says " 1 9", what i read as 1. week in 1949. could that be 1. week, 1939 as well ? why do you think that is a pre-war lamp ? the tag is unreadable for me, sorry.
Hello! If there's 1 9 scratched so it will be January 1939, what looks correct for this lantern. If it was made in forties there would be for example 1 42 scratched. From some time in 1939 the upper hat was not screwed but pressed with the rest of the hood, so it's definitely a pre war lantern. I have very similar px 900 dated 1937 and it has identical tag. In the squares are signatures of people who packed and probably checked the lamp before sending. Mine looks like this:
